... into the Dr. I had told him I wanted to take something to quit smoking I was prescribed Budeprion XL 150mg stayed on this for 4 weeks got nothing but irritable and insomia.I continued to take this and my Zoloft was cut down to 50 mg. The Dr says there is nothing else I can use, zyban is just another name for Welbutrin. I took Welbutrin in its regular form years ago and stopped smoking in a week, but was left to jittery to continue on the pill. Does anyone have any suggestions. I keep hearing these different named drugs although the same can work differently in different bodies. I had also tried Chantex that did nothing might as well not have us did not even get side effects. Please help, I really want to stop

I am sorry for you. My husband has smoked for 37 years now and he has not been able to quit with Wellbutin or the patch. My sister and brother-in-law finally quit through prayer. I was totally surprized because they had never been religious. My sister had never gone to church. I am not preaching religion but I know prayer has worked for some people. I hope you find something that works for you.

Hi there, I smoke now, been smoking since I was 14... Its really a shame. I no longer get pleasure from smoking, actually I feel worse and worse, beat myself up so bad sometimes. Then other times I feel I should give myself a break, I guess. I call it, well... a pain in the a$$ if you know what I mean. I think about my 80 year old Grandmother and in her last years, had to quit because of having to go into a nursing home... I was the one who wound up hounding her as a child "Grandmom, You really should quit!" Boy, what a hippocrite I turned out to be! Well at that time I dont recall remembering one reason why she shouldnt quit anyway! She lived through polio, the great deppression and so many other things I really believe that after smoking 2 cartons a week, she is stronger than I could ever be.

Hucklebery324,
I can believe you on everything you say my boyfriend quit 15 years ago using a puffer that was prescribed, my son is using the electronic cigarettes and is down to 0 on his nicotine, but continues to use the electronic cigarette for the last 3 months. You know I going to do exactly what you say tomorrow is my last cigarette. No gum, pills, patches, I am sick of trying it all, and I have to realize we are in control not the cigarette. Thanks for your input on this it was very helpful

Dear Vik- I smoked for 30 years. I had tried repeatedly to quit and tried Wellbutrin too. Finally, I discovered Comit lozenges. Unlike the patch, you take a lozenge each time you feel the need to smoke. That did it for me. You buy them over the counter at any pharmacy or Walmart. Good luck in your efforts to quit.
